[Catch22]

Very nice!

 

[Lucky13]

TSR-2!!


Oh, yeah.....great stuff Wayne!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I love that F-4!

 

[Crimea_River]

Phantom looks really nice. Always wondered why they bothered with the two tones of green. At any kind of distance, they start to look much the same.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Wayne Little]

Third Place Gulf War Bucaneer...

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Airframes]

I like that! The canopy is a bit 'off' regarding the frame and sealant demarcations, and the weathering a little dark for Gulf Buccs, but it looks good, and the display is neat.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice, I had no idea they used in the Gulf War.

 

[Matt308]

VERY COOL!!! I love the Buccaneer. Airframes is right though. A bit more pink was necessary. And I would not have included the open airbrakes for this display. But lovely.

Was that a normal loadout with assymetric Paveways?

 

[Catch22]

Very cool!

 

[Wayne Little]

New Matt would like the Bucaneer!

Macchi next!

very nice, here's a pic of the real Bucaneer !

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff!

 

[Airframes]

I really like that Macchi, very nicely done.
Matt, the Bucc in the Gulf were used mainly to paint targets for the Tornado GR1's, but they also flew some misions using LGB's, so the load varied a bit, but kept the laser designator.

 

[Matt308]

...but with an asymetric load on the wing stations?

 

[Airframes]

Yep, looks about right according to the Gulf pics I have. They also carried 'odd' equipment loads in the UK matitime role, changed according to mission profile and armament load, as did the Tornado GR1. Tha latter, for example, might have a PAVE on oen wing, and chaff/flare dispenser on the other, or other kit.

 

[Matt308]

Interesting. Thanks Airframes.

 

[Wayne Little]

This one might excite a few....
